Kym, That is a very specific tld, most are not like that and are registeted instantly with no checks. We have been registering domains for many years and have a fully automated site. So I am under no disillusion how they work, try out godaddy.com if you want to see for yourseld how it works. Even the tld's that do require checks such as .au or .fr, these are done with the registrant, the registrar does not contact other companies with similar names to see if they mind. It is a scam, and a well known one, we get emails like that all the time.
